We had a wonderful New Year stay at this house. The abundance of appliances really stood out - the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and more. The bedrooms and fireplace area were also very well stocked, which made the stay extremely comfortable.We especially appreciated the private, secured area, which gave us peace of mind and a sense of seclusion. The hot tub was a fantastic addition and made our stay even more relaxing. Overall, it was a great place to unwind and celebrate the New Year. We would definitely recommend this property.

You really are on your own at the top of a mountain but with all the best comforts--hot tub, firepit, fireplace, views, comfortable bed. The cabin is so well equipped, clean and the hosts have thought of everything, one would think they planned the deer that gently walk onto the property.

Whispering trees

This cabin, tucked into the side of the national park, gave us a few days to relax, unwind and recharge. The wind in the trees created a soothing sound. I read on the screened porch, walked the steep road and even rode my bike along the quiet roads. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we recommend this property to all who like to be enveloped in nature.

Peaceful end of our stay in Virginia!

This was the most clean, organized, and well stocked VRBO we have ever stayed at! The host provided everything you could possibly need and is perfect for families! The property was private and beautiful! Our family enjoyed the hot tub and drinking coffee and cocoa on the porches. It was soo relaxing just sitting outside and being serenaded by the birds! We chose this cabin as an end to our busy week long trip to Virginia and it was the perfect end to our trip! I love when a place we stay at feels well taken care of and you can tell the hosts really take care of this place and thought of practically everything! The road up was for sure steep and bumpy, so 4WD was much needed, but worth it! Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Perfect

Looking for getaway with parents that was easy to maneuver with downstairs master bedroom and step in shower. Luckily, we already had the 4wd and everything else was just treasure! The hosts are so generous with what is supplied at the cabin and contact was plentiful to make sure every need was met. Furnishings are comfy and we enjoyed the screened in porch listening to nature -the hot tub was an added delight. Didn’t want to leave. I’m sure in the Fall it is gorgeous! Thank you again!
